A VALENTINE


! Great Britain once maintained the right
To search our ships, upon the seas,
Which brought about Il four years hgbt,
And, for our side, patched up peace
which left the case Just as II stood,
Tin Webster and Ashburton settled IN
same,
With pen and iuk-not sword and blood,
In treaty, cancelled EnRland's claim.
But still, the war proved to the earth
Our pluck and power, on land and sea,
And won Tor US respect, thenceforth;
And made our ships and sailors free.
And so. in after years, 10 save
one single son, with ship we call,
And shOtted gun, whose flag we wave
And alta word his letters fall.
For Chinese massacreed in Wyoming,
BY savage men, OF christian name,
We paid. and justly, TO Alb Sing,
And heather brethren, for the same
Some certsin sums OF shining gold,
Contessiug sorrow for the deed,
And begging pardon. a thousand fold,
According to our Christian creed.
And savage youth we send TO school,
And feed aud clOthe, with generous hand,
Teach them and tribes, the golden rule,
AS nay, IN part, Tor all their land.
And miss Ons, from our churches 60,
To every race beneath the skies,
And every land has learned TO know,
The cross and flag, we so much prize.
But when IL comes to giving seed,
To suffering people, all our own,
why that's a different thing" they plead
And Veto says, Cannot be done.
Now CHARITY begins ut home"
Feed first the lambs within thy fold,
Then go to turkey, Russia, Rome,
And help the needy with thy gold.
But justice stands with sword in hand
To come, and scales, to weigh the right,
And will in Il" @ see all The land
A full and equal measure, quite.
Again in our so-called free land,
Are frccwen founf as refugees,
While murdcrUas mObs, d liant stand,
With guilty hands aud impious pleas
All matched of hate, in some vile den,
And whispered then in willing ears,
Which !, ad TO loss OF lives OF meu,
And bathes the hand in blood and tears.
Now let thy homes DO halIowed GROUND,
Ana all our laws be wisely made
And not n single soul be found
Who would not have them all OBJ yed.
Ana let no life be taken here
Save by the law one falls 10 break,
Nor freeman 6y his homo IN fear
For words he never thought or spRSc.
This is the exIes home We claim
For the oppressed VI other lands,
Then shall We here be mute andtGne
While rich rules with bloody hands.
Shall we be safe on shore and sea,
Afar and backed by men and guns,
And here at home he forced to fee
For daring to stand SS loyal sOnsr
Shall hcathens here redress obtain
The savage schooling, clothes and b cad -
While thousands toll for these in vain
And Greemen for their faittrlie dead?
Now shall the many rule or few
The right prevail or shall the wrongr
Which vital questions lead me to
The pith and marrow of my song.
If for the right, then let our laws
BE made and kept both broad and deep,
And never in our pathway pause
Till all shall the commandments keep.
And then beneath thy banner bright
Shalt thy sons strong and faithful stand,
And wrong no more the land shall blight
With baleful breath and hostile hand,
A. MONROE.

There was another killing at Winslow on the night of the 9th instant. Edward Dalton killed one Thomas Griffin, by stabbing him in the right thigh, sever ing the main artery. Griffin Lied to death before medical assistance reached him. It appears the difficulty grew out of Dalton's having lost q pair of socks, and saying some one had stolen them. Griffin appeared to think the remark was intended for him, and said on his way from supper to the bunk-house, that he intended to whip the first one who said anything out of the way to him. A short time after they reached their sleeping quarters, Mickey Walsh, who is half wItted and small man, said something to Griffin at which he took umbrage and knocked Walsh down. Dalton then spoke up and said, Don't strike poor little Mickey" whereppon Griffin struck Dalton, knocking him down also. He immediately jumped on Dalton and be- gan biting him ill the face and on the hands. Dalton succeeded in getting his pocket knife out and opening it in some manner, stabbed Griffin as above stated. Whiskey may justly be said to have been the cause of the death of two men w iDslow within two weeks.

 Last Sunday evening one of those bold 0ad men, became thoroughly saturated
 xIth shoot'em-up-whiskey, and after i the ever-watchful Wattron had retired to his home, concluded that it was his night to howl and. listen to the musical ring of his little gun; but his wild and reckless career was suddenly cut short, by Wattron appearing on the scene oi threatened carnage, with his insepara- ble Con such occasionsJ shotgun, which chilled the hot blood of our hero. and he soon concluded that the bastile was good enough for him for that night. The next morning, much snbdued, our bad man appeared before Judge Banta and paid his fine-with trimmings. It is per fectly surprising with what ease and dexterity these bad men get their hands into position, when Frank quietly makes the request.

 Some one, with more of the instincts of the brute in his composition, than the human, is IndIscriminately scatter ing poisoned meat around the streets oi St Johns. As result, there are some eight CT zen dead dogs lying on streets, the odors from which arc anything but pleasant or healthy. We heard of a ease the other day that might have re- suited in the death of a member of the human family from this poisoning. A little girl had been given a pup, she found some meat in the street in front of her parents house, and in feeding her pet was tearing the meat apart with her teeth. While she was still feeding him he stiffened and in few moments
 was dead. Suppose the child had swal- lowed some of this poisoned meat, would not the wretch who is scattering it broad cast have been guilty of murder? Un- intentional, it is true-but still, murder.

5 The Killing of GOrtOn.

There has been great deal written and said about the killing of G.. w. Cor ton, at Winslow, short time since some two or three different accounts having appeared in the press of this DOT ton of Arizona. From a gentleman who has been here from Winslow, and who heard the testimony before the Coroner's jury, we gather the following facts, as developed in that investigation.
 Messrs. Gorton and Brown were in the saloon of Frank Thompson on the even ing of the killing, and had been drink ing to considerable extent. Mir. Pete Jacoby happened to pass the saloon, and was called Tn by Gorton. A short time after Jacoby was called in. negro who was in the employ of Gorton happened in the saloon, when the latter named gentleman addressing Jacoby said l: Pete, you are pretty good man, but l have negro that can whip you" Ja- coby said, ''I am not around fighting ne- grQes." Gorlon then said, "G-d d-n you, 1 can lick you," and struck Jacoby over the head with his six-shooter. Mir. Skaggs, who was in the saloon at the time, spoke up and said, "do moi strike Pete" Brown, who was friend of Cor ton and also in his emrloy, then struck Skaggs over the head with Iris six-shoot- CT. The two thenproceeded to pummel Jacoby and Skaggs to their hearts con tent, and then ordered them to stay in the saloon or they would kill them. Gorton and Brown then stepped up to the bar to get drink, and Jacoby and Skaggs got out through window in the rear.
 Goyton, noticing they had gone, said, "Pete may come back with gun," and stepped to the back rart of the saloon and picked up a double barreled shot gun himself. In the meantime Brown had gone outside and mounted his horse, and Gorton came to the door of the sa- HUH Nilll l.lC III HID uol as he stepped to the door, some one on the outside fired, and Gorton said to Brown who was in frontof the saloon on his horse, ''Louie you have shot me. '" Brown answered, ''I did not shoot you. '" Gorton accused him of doing the shoot ing the second time, and threw the gun up to his shoulder. As he did so Bro VII wheeled hls horse and started off on q run. Gorton shot at him as he was leaving. wounding him in the side, but not seriously. There CT; two or three other shots fired from the outside, one of them striking Mir. Thompson, the sa- loon keeper in the leg.
 The question now perplexing the citi- zens of Winslow is, who did the shoot ing from the outside? Brown and Cor ton were bosom friends and boon com panions. Brown had assisted Gorton in his fracas with Jacoby few moments before, and denied to Gorton that he had shot. him, and it is scarcely proba- ble that he did. But who did, if Brown did not?
